SASHV-CORD FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 381,018, dated April 10, 1888, J l i,

Application filed m 13, 1am. Serial no. 244.183. (no model.) Patented in England September 4,- 1886, no. nest.

To all whom itmdy concern:

Beit known that I, JOHN HARROPJONES,

' a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, re-

siding at Manchester, in the countyof Lancaster, England, have invented Improvements in Sash-Cord Fasteners, (for which Ihave applied for a patent in Great Britain, No. 11,266,

without anynec'essity for knotting the endof the cord.

Figure 1 on the annexed drawings is a vertical section taken through about the line A Bin Fig. 2 of part of a sashstile with my in{ vention (shown also in section) applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a face'view of the same, and Fig.3 is

a face view of my improved sash-cord fastener with the cover removed. Fig. 4is a similar view to Fig. 1, but drawn on a reduced scale and illustrating another method of attaching the cord. I

I attach, preferably to the inside edge of .each sash-stile a, Fig. 2, a small metal'plate or box, I), in which a hole, a, is made for the passage of the cord d. (See Figs. 1 and 2.) The cord also passes through a hole, 6, bored in the sash-stile a and inclining upward into the ordinary groove, a. This plate or box b is also provided with a wedge-shaped hole-0r slot, f, (see Fig. 3,) below the hole 0 and having its tapering or wedge portion extending toward the hole a.

The cord d having been drawn through th stile and through the hole a in the plate, its

end is bent backward and passed through the lower open part of the wedge-shaped slot f and upward between the backof the plate or box b and the back of the recess a, formed in the stile a-for' the reception of the same.

Upon then pulling the cord up in the direction of the arrow, Fig. 1, it will be forced up into the wedge shaped slot f, and will be se- 'The cords on either side ofthe sash having knotting the end. g 7 I would here remark that if preferred, the cordmay be first drawn in through the wedgeshaped slot f and then doubled back through the hole 0, as shown at the reducedview', Fig. 4; but the method first described I better and easier to adjust.

It will be evident that the cord can beleng'th: ened or shortened at any time by drawing the 7 consider;

i ,curely held therein'withoutany necessity for loop downwardinto the wide part of the slot i f, and after adjusting thecord asdesired it can be firmly refixedby drawing it again in the direction of the arrow Asuitablecover,

g,isscrewed or may behinged or otherwise secured tothe plate or box b to conceal the openings 0 and f and the end'of the cord d.-

been thus attached to the window, the latter is raised and the cords passed over their respective pulleys and each brought'downin its 3 pulley-stile, by means/of the usual weight or mouse, to the level of thepocketholein o r- 70 I I der to be attached to the sash-weight, as usual: f

' "I am aware that 'a sashcord fastener has been made of a band of metal with a tapering opening to receivea separatewedge-piece, around which the cord is folded; ener no separate wedge-piece is necessary. The cord fastens itself in the wedge-shaped slot f without theuse'of either wedge-pieces or-knots. t

I claim as my invention-:

The plate or box for a sash=stile provided In my'fastwith ahole, c, andbelow the latter awedge shaped hole or-slot, f, having-its tap'eringend extending toward the hole 0, whereby a cord inserted in the twoholeswilLwhen pulled V wedge itself in the slot f, substantially as described.

' In testimony whereof I have signed my mineto this specification in the presence of. two s'ubscribing witnesses. g v J H. JONES.
